There is one most romantic day of the year - February 14 or Valentine's Day! On this day, it is customary to give your soul mate pleasant souvenirs in the form of hearts: sweets, valentine cards, valentine pillows, etc. However, it is not necessary to buy them in the store, because you can make a beautiful valentine with your own hands. And not even from paper, but from threads. How exactly? To tie!

In this master class, we will knit a valentine for Valentine's Day. So, let's start the photo lesson -.

For a crochet valentine we need:

• Yarn red and white;
• Hook 1, 75;
• Scissors.

The text contains abbreviations:

• V.p. - air loop;
• S.p. - connecting loop;
• st.b.n. - single crochet;
• St. s1.n. - a column with 1 crochet;
• St. s4.n. - a column with 4 crochets.

How to make a crochet valentine with your own hands?

We will knit such a heart from a square. First you need to make 1 sliding loop and 1 air.

Now take the end of the thread and tighten the loop.

Now let's do 1 ch. and in the first loop we knit 3 st.b.n.

And in the next loop we will knit 1 st.b.n.

But in the third we again knit 3 st.b.n.

So we will knit, alternating to the very end.

We carry out 1 s.st. in the first loop of the row.

Again we do 1 ch, and in a new loop we knit 3 st.b.n.

And again in a new loop 1 st.b.n. So we alternate the whole row.

We knit 1 s.p. in the first loop of the row.

Again we do 1 vp.

In the first loop we perform 3 st.b.n.

And in the next 5 loops, we need to perform 1 st.b.n.

At 6 we knit again 3 st.b.n. And so, too, we alternate to the end of the whole row.

Again we knit 1 s.p. and do 1 v.p.

So we will alternate in this row.

In the first loop we knit 3 st.b.n., and in the next 9, 1 st.b.n. So we alternate the whole row.

Work 1 more slp to go to the corner of the square.

Now we make 4 yarn over on the hook and in the 6th loop from the hook we knit 1 st.c4.n.

Another crochet master class:.

Here, in the same 6th loop, we perform another 12 st.c4.n.

And now in the 6th loop from the center. We knit this corner loop in the same way 13 st.s4.n.

And in the corner loop we knit 1 s.p.

In all the remaining loops, we simply knit 1 st.b.n. And in the corner loop we knit 3 st.b.n.

We approached the "ears" of the heart. We knit like this: in 2 loops we perform 1 st.b.n. And the 3rd 2nd st.b.n.

So we will alternate while we knit loops on the "ears". We skip the loop between the "ears". We do not knit anything in it.

Knitted "ears".

We do 1 s.p. white thread.

We do 1 vp and knit 12 st.b.n., 1 in each loop.

In the corner loop we knit 3 st.b.n.

We knit in the ear like this: 2 st.b.n. in each loop, and in the 3rd loop 2 st.b.n.

Decrease between the ears by knitting 2 loops together.

On the 2nd ear we knit symmetrically.

We connect at the end of the row in ch.

We do 1 vp and in the next loop we knit 1 st.b.n.

Skip 1 loop and knit 1 st.b.n.

So we alternate to the ears.

Another cool toy:

We knit an elongated st.b.n. between the ears, lowering the hook 1 row lower.

We knit all other loops symmetrically to the already knitted side.

At the end we knit s.p. and tighten the thread.

Crocheted valentine is ready!

Love each other, give each other gifts and be happy with the site!

Good afternoon friends!

Today, I will tell you how to crochet a valentine. It will be a funny valentine - a cat.Agree that paper valentines are already fed up with many, so you have to look for an alternative. Due to the presence of various types of needlework, there are several options. For example, if you crochet well, then for your loved one or just a loved one you can create just such a soft knitted valentine.

And the valentine is not just a heart, but a cat, making the gift even more attractive and funny. I think no one will refuse to receive such an interesting gift on Valentine's Day, especially if it is made by hand. And, as you know, such gifts carry a piece of spiritual kindness and warmth of the person whose hands created this or that product.

I want to make a reservation right away that the idea of ​​such a cute knitted cat is not mine. On the Internet they write that the author of such a knitted cat in the shape of a heart is Marina Shadrina. Many thanks to Marina for such an interesting idea.

And I will tell you how I knitted this cute toy.

To knit a valentine - a cat, we need:

1. Red yarn (acrylic) - 80 g.
2. Black yarn (acrylic) - 2 g.
3. Hook number 2.
4. Fishing line.
5. Eyes (round) - 2 pcs.
6. Wire.
7. Satin ribbon (green with white polka dots, width 1 cm) - 25 cm.
8. Sewing needle.
9. Scissors.
10. Glue gun.
11. Sintepon.

1 row: First of all, we will knit the base for the cat - this is the heart. Take red yarn and a hook, make 3 air loops, and close the beginning and end of the chain.

2 row: from each loop it is necessary to knit 2 loops, that is, all loops in the row increase by 2 times.

3 row: from each second loop it is necessary to knit 2 loops, that is, in a row the loops will increase through one loop.

Row 4: Knit this row in the same way as the third row.

5th and 6th rows: simply knit all the loops of these rows in a circle without knitting additional loops.

7 row: from each loop it is necessary to knit 2 loops, that is, all loops in the row increase by 2 times.

8.9, 10, 11 rows: simply tie all the loops of these rows in a circle without knitting additional loops. The result is such a hemisphere. When knitting these rows, the product will begin to narrow slightly.

The two resulting hemispheres must be connected together and crocheted on one side.

12 row: two connected hemispheres must be tied in a single circle.

13th and 14th row: simply tie all the loops of these rows in a circle without knitting additional loops.

15 row: to give the shape of a heart, you will need to cut a few loops on the sides. Therefore, when knitting this row, you need to knit 3 loops together from each side, doing this twice on each side.

16 row:

Rows 17 and 18: Simply knit all sts of these rows in the round without reducing the sts.

19 and 20 rows: when knitting these rows, you need to knit 3 loops together from each side, doing this once on each side.

21 row: when knitting this row, you need to knit 3 loops together in the center, doing this once on each side.

22 row: when knitting this row, you need to knit 3 loops together from each side, doing this twice on each side. We begin to fill the heart with sintepon.

23, 24, 25 row: when knitting these rows, you need to knit 3 loops together from each side, doing this once on each side.

26 row: when knitting this row, you need to knit 3 loops together from each side, doing this twice on each side.

27 row: when knitting this row, you need to knit 3 loops together from each side, doing this three times on each side.

28 row: tie a row without shortened loops.

29 row: when knitting this row, you need to knit 3 loops together from each side, doing this once on each side.

30th and 31st rows: tie rows without reducing loops.

32 row: the paws of the cat are formed, therefore, on the right side (where the head is), it is necessary to make 16 loops from 8 loops, knit these 16 loops twice in one direction and in the opposite direction.

33 row: tie this row in a circle without reducing loops.

34 row: cut in every third loop.

35 row: cut in every second loop.

36 row: cut in each loop. Tie the thread well and cut.

For a cat, the tail is knitted in the form of a tourniquet, knitted in a circle of 11 loops. There is no need to add and subtract loops. Loops are reduced only at the end of the tail. The length of the tail is about 15 cm. The tail also needs to be filled with padding polyester. If you want the tail to bend, then you need to thread the wire into it.

For a cat, you need to tie the ears. Therefore, a chain of 5 loops is cast on and knitted in two rows, and then knit 3 loops in a row, and knit 1 loop in the other row. Tie the second ear.

Let's start forming the muzzle of our cat. Thread black acrylic through a sewing needle. Pierce with a needle 6 rows, capturing the synthetic winterizer. By the way, the more you grab the synthetic winterizer, the more cheeks the cat will have. Do the same with the paws, you need to make 3 punctures, you can not pierce the paws too deeply.

Heat the glue gun and glue round eyes and glue a nose made of black acrylic a little lower. Fold a bow from a satin ribbon and glue it.

Use glue to glue the tail and give it the desired shape. Glue the ears to the head on both sides. Cut the fishing line into pieces, 5-6 cm long. Glue the antennae also with glue.

Valentine - the cat is ready!

Surely such a toy will find its application in the house of the person to whom the gift is intended. A polka dot satin ribbon bow makes the gift more festive. Due to the delicate acrylic yarn and synthetic winterizer, it is pleasant to hold the toy in your hands, it does not prick, it has good softness, and thanks to the filler it retains its shape.

Friends, if my master class was useful to you, share it with your friends!

Such a very beautiful voluminous heart, plump, similar to a small pillow, can be knitted together with us. The size is small, only 8 cm wide and 7.5 cm high. Knitted in different colors of yarn on both sides of the heart. It can be given as a gift for any occasion.

Legend:

• VP- air loop;
• RLS- single crochet;
• SS3N- a column with 3 crochets;
• SS- connecting post or loop.

You will need: red yarn NAKO SIRIUS, 100% acrylic (in 100 g - 610 m); hook 2 mm.

Work description:

• 1 row: we collect a chain of twelve air loops and, starting from the second loop, we knit 11 sc;
• 2 - 11 rows: we start each row with a lifting loop, 11 sc;

It turns out a square of 11 loops in width and 11 rows in height, connected completely with RLS.

We knit one lifting loop. We divide the row in half, or, folding it, with the sides to each other, or we count the 6th loop, and we begin to knit -11 SS3N into it, we knit 1 VP between each column. In the last loop of this side of knitting 1 sc.

We pass to the side where we knitted 11 rows in height and knit similarly to the connected side.

Now we knit exactly the same heart, only with orange yarn.

Then you need to connect 2 parts together, wrong sides to each other. We will connect (tie) with orange yarn on the red side * 3 VP, fasten RLS *, repeating until there is no hole left. Where we knitted triple crochets, we fasten 3 air loops with a single crochet, under each VP, between the columns.

Do not forget, at the end, add a little bit of any filler, in the middle of the heart, just a little bit so that it is not visible, between the columns.

Our heart is ready!

We hope everything worked out for you.

Gift Options for Valentine's Day

which you can knit with your own hands.

You can knit the SILHOUETTE of a heart with a special knitting technique... that is, we knit an ordinary fabric (pillows or potholders) ... and then in the place specified by the pattern we knit columns-knobs. You can do this with plain threads (as in the photo of the blue pillow), or you can choose different colors of threads to highlight the heart (as in the photo of the lilac-yellow potholder below). The scheme and principle of knitting a pattern in bumps can be found on the Internet.

And here's an idea valentine's day crafts- that is, a red knitted heart can decorate a white postcard. A white crochet heart will stand out brightly on a red valentine card.

You can also knit from knitted hearts hair ornament for little girls. For example, an elastic band with a heart on the side. Or you can crochet a crown of hearts(as in the middle photo). You can also use a simple connected heart decorate a regular hair band. Below I will give many heart patterns that are suitable for this purpose.

You can also knit from hearts picture-souvenir as a gift new settlers, or friends in love. The color of the hearts can be matched to the color of the interior of the room ... For example, if the furniture and textiles of the room are lilac with yellow and eggplant, then the hearts in the frame should repeat this color scheme.

Also, a flat heart knitted with thin threads can become an elegant decor for sewn heart pads. Such a heart can be knitted as a decorative element for decorating a wedding.

Well, now let's start knitting a FLAT HEART ... come on, let's learn ...

How to crochet a small flat heart.

Technique CIRCLE + BINDING.

The simplest heart (in 2 rows) is best knitted from thick threads. The scheme of such a heart is simple - it has only 2 circular rows ... First, we knit a regular chain of 4 air loops. Then we knit single crochets in a circle (we get a flat circle). And we will have the second row shape the heart(sharp tip at the bottom + recess at the top). The recess in the upper part of the heart is formed due to the stitching in this place of the columns WITHOUT a crochet. The pointed tip at the bottom is obtained thanks to 2 air loops.

Such small crochet hearts can be connected in PAIRS along the edges ... and fill the inside with cotton wool. We get a plump valentine heart.

You can also decorate our little flat hearts ordinary EMBROIDERY from knitting threads(stretching them with a regular crochet, that is, embroider flowers without a needle). Or you can decorate knitted valentines separately knitted flower, or cut out from a piece of fleece.

And you can also give a heart crocheted elegance, if each knitting row made from threads of different colors.

You can hang a heart on the window - as a decorative pendant and decorate with crystal beads.

HOW TO DECORATE a heart with a knitted flower.

You can decorate the core of such a flat heart with a connected flower.
First volumetric flower it turns out if on the surface of the finished heart (from the central row, hooking a new thread with a hook) start knitting a bump pattern (right on top of the heart canvas).

Second flower (spiral rose) - is knitted after we have a connected 2-row heart on our hands (as according to the diagram above) ... and then, when we have reached the end, we do not break the thread, but continue knitting ... and knit the THIRD ROW - (this will be the edge row of the heart - roses). This row produces curved BOARDS.

The sides are obtained due to the fact that in the third row we DO NOT ADD the number of columns - but we knit them as much as there were in the second row. And our knitting from flat turns into a BOWL-shaped (like a cup in the shape of a heart).

And when our third side row comes to an end - WE START THE SPIRAL. Namely, after the third row has approached the hole-hollow of the heart, we turn the course of our knitting DEEP into the heart (and continue to knit, picking up the middle knitting columns with a crochet (columns of the second and first rows ... turning knitting in a circle and so bringing it to the middle (in a spiral ).

HOW TO MAKE A CARPET using the flat heart technique.

Having mastered the technique of knitting flat hearts, can be linked fluffy CARPET in the shape of a heart. As a knitting material for such a carpet ordinary threads will not work.

Here we need EITHER thick polyester cord for knitting (google it, many stores sell it) ...

OR you can make the same thick thread yourself- if you buy in a store plain jersey-stretch... and cut a long thread out of it with scissors. Just cut with a zigzag snake - first we cut a strip of fabric along the edge, and when we reached the corner, we turned back and cut again ... we reached the corner again, smoothly turned and cut again ... Get an endless plump knitted cord-strip. Our grandmothers also knitted rugs from it (they also cut rags). If you look closely at the photo, you will see that here the threads for the heart-shaped carpet are made from a cut serpentine knitted cloth.

As I said, it's better to buy one stretchy knit fabric with a slight sheen- the shiny coating applied to the fabric glues the loops of the knitted fabric together, and therefore the cut strip DOES NOT FRINGE along the edges, but retains a neat, even cut. Yes, and the carpet from such overflow jersey turns out to be glamorous and stylish.

The heart shaped carpet is very easy to knit. First, we knit an ordinary flat heart (as in the diagram above). And then, when the heart-carpet is ready, we will make a relief on it (protruding ribs).

So that such ROLLED steps appear on the carpet. It is necessary after the carpet is already tied (without steps yet, just flat), take the thread again .... crocheting it in ANY middle row of the knitted carpet ... start knitting regular single crochets - knit along the entire row - another SURFACE ROW.

yes, knit OVER the carpet along the selected row(as we just knitted a spiral rose over the heart in the paragraph above) - but here we knit not in a spiral, but in a CIRCLE, repeating the shape of a heart with a knitting stroke. Thus, we get one edge-step. And then repeat the same thing in some middle row of our rug.

Here in the photo below ... you can see how, after the finished red heart was tied, a white pattern was knitted on its SURFACE (just hooking (in any row) a white thread and pulling it into a loop ... Here is a similar process on our carpet ... only there we we not only stretch the picked up thread, but also knit a column together with it (with or without a crochet).

Volumetric crochet heart

– MASTER CLASS for beginners.

These are so beautiful plump hearts can be knitted even by a novice master. It looks like a difficult job - but if you hold them in your hand, it immediately becomes clear how it's done. Here I post Master Class, where all the stages of knitting are clearly visible and understandable.

We knit cups-caps (we just knit in a circle, and from the fact that in each circle we add few columns, our circle wraps itself in a cup). We cut the thread in the first cap ... and when the second cap is already tied, we leave the thread ... we bring the caps closer to each other with barrels and begin their GENERAL BINDING in a circle - in a GENERAL CIRCLE around their barrels (without touching the membrane wall).

Gradually we begin the REDUCTION OF THE COLUMNS in this circular row - so that our heart narrows down. When there is already a small hole left below, we fill the valentine with cotton wool and finish knitting.

Hearts connected according to such a master class may not be monophonic, but striped… And they can be made elongated. In order for them to lengthen, you just need to reduce the columns in a circular row not so often ... That is, do the reduction of the columns is not in each row - but through the row.

Volume heart crochet,

knitted in ROW knit.

And here is the principle of creating a crochet heart, which is knitted NOT IN A CIRCLE .. but row after row - from left to right. Two flat swimsuits are knitted, and then folded together and crocheted.

STITCHING OF TWO HALVES occurs regular crochet stitch. Thread under knitting, hook over knitting. We lower the hook from the bottom up THROUGH the knitting - we pick up the thread and pull it to the top of the knitting a little bit so that the head of the hook and the eyelet on it look out. Again we crochet - through knitting down (already in a different place, through a column) - we pick up the thread, emerge with a hook with a new loop and stretch it into the one that is already on the hook ... And we repeat the same dive with a hook through the column down - grab the thread and pull it from the bottom up and stretch it into the loop on the hook.

Or you can combine the principle of TRIANGULAR DIRECT knitting - and then tie SEMI-ROUND EARS to the triangle (as in the photo below).

Crochet heart

L-shaped way.

This means that our knitting looks like the letter G, which we constantly knit in a circle, making the letter G thicker and thicker - until it looks like a heart. Here in the diagram below I have 2 stages of the scheme - the beginning and the continuation. To make it clear to you where knitting begins ... and how to continue it.

And also having learned to crochet a FLAT heart, you can knit Here's a valentine's box. In order for the connected flat heart to form BOARDS (wall-boxes), you need ... after finishing the flat upper box part (without breaking the threads), continue knitting in a circle (around the heart) BUT WITHOUT ADDING COLUMNS IN THE FOLLOWING CIRCULAR ROWS ... and then our knitting will begin to bend over wrap the sides …. Choose the height of the sides yourself ... in the photo there are 3-4 rows of columns (each row has the same number of columns - equal to the number of columns along the edge of the upper surface of the heart).

And by the way - in the photo it is connected in an L-SHAPED way - but in fact it doesn’t matter at all how you knit the surface of the cover. That is, you can choose ANY way to crochet a heart (in the photo below we see the usual heart pattern in the form of even rows). The main thing to do is to CONNECT THE BOARDS (the walls of the box).

Also in the same technique (in the form of the letter G) you can tie an OPENWORK holey heart-valentine, with a red ribbon stretched into it.

The diagram below shows that this pattern is almost the same as the top one, only here in each row we do not just sculpt the columns close to each other ... but we do gaps in the form of two air loops And then to such a heart, you can add a LACE BINDING along the edge of the finished heart shape. And stretch the ribbon around the edge.

Hearts in the technique of FRAME KNITTING.

And here is the idea of ​​crochet HEART FRAMES. First we knit regular BIG RING of air loops- and then we tie this ring with single crochets. We do the strapping in such a way that we get a CLOWN from the top in the center ... and from the bottom in the center a SHARP END of a heart.
Hollow it is done with the help of the fact that in this place we knit not an ordinary column, but a connecting one - we just pry and pull the thread into a loop, without calling the column.

pointed tip it turns out due to the fact that in this place we knit THREE COLUMNS into one air loop.

If the front-frame consists of SEVERAL rows, then for all these rows GENERAL RULE applies - in the hollow we do LOWERING THE COLUMNS(that is, instead of a cape, we make a capless column ... or instead of the usual capless column, we make a tiny connecting column).

= at the bottom for a pointed tip In EVERY row we knit 3 columns in one hole, instead of one.

And you can put a wire inside such a heart-frame. And make a rigid frame for a photo or for a bird.

The wire will be inserted into the knitting immediately at the FIRST STAGE OF WORK.

That is, we immediately we start our knitting NOT WITH AIR ... but immediately with columns... we begin to knit these columns by picking up the hook under the wire. Just like we always hooked the hook under the ring of air loops - only now we don’t need a ring of air loops - instead a ring of wire. It's okay if the dragging during knitting will be jammed by hand - then you will level everything.

By this principle, you can knit any lace patterns - on a wire bent in the shape of a heart ... or in the shape of lace.

crochet valentines

in the SQUARE + EARS technique.

And here is the principle of crocheting a valentine when we first knit regular square with any pattern(albeit just columns as in the photo below) ... and then to this square from two sides we tie semicircular ears.

The scheme of the square and the scheme of the ears can be any ... with tight or holey openwork knitting.

After we first knitted a SQUARE, then one ear, and then the second ear-semicircle ... we can tie the whole heart along its EDGE ... the strapping along the edge can be in the form of simple columns ... or in the form of openwork lace (as in the photo below) .

And here is the option when a garland is connected from such hearts - it can be hung over the fireplace or along the bookshelf ... or along the upper edge of the doorway.

Patterns for knitting such hearts can be very different. Here are the schemes of SQUARES and ears to it. As you can see, pattern patterns can be completely different. And there is only one principle - first we knit a square (according to any pattern) ... and then we tie semicircular ears to it - also according to any pattern of a round napkin ... or invented from my head.

Crochet valentine

in the technique of THREE CIRCLE + BINDING

And here is another simple way - when THREE CUPS fit in ... then they interlock together. And they are tied around - in the shape of a heart.

Instead of three circles, you can connect three flowers.

Also, you can create your own your author's heart from crocheted many different-sized flowers or circles. Here's how. First, draw a large heart shape on a piece of paper - THIS WILL BE A TEMPLATE.

Then collect around the house all sorts of round objects that can serve as a Stencil for us (glasses, round cream lids, jars with round bottoms, etc.). now we we circle these glasses and caps with a pencil inside our drawn heart. Our task is to cover the whole heart with such stencil circles - from small to large.

And then you have to take threads of two or three colors close in shades (pink, red and white - for example). And tie flowers of different colors- we knit a flower with any circular pattern (taken from the patterns of any napkins or snowflakes) - we knit until our round circle is equal in size to one of the circles we have drawn.

Once a knitted circle matched to size with one of the circles drawn on the template - we take the adhesive tape and stick it on our drawing - in the circle where it should be (I advise you to stick the adhesive tape on the template so that you do not get confused which circles are already connected and which ones are not yet).

Valentine napkins

in the technique of FILLET knitting.

Loin knitting is knitting in a straight line (from right to left) - we knit CELL BY CELL ... Cells alternate... empty... or filled with bars. And thanks to this, a drawing is obtained.
It is VERY SIMPLE here ... either an empty cell (three airs) or filled with columns (three columns).

And the patterns for such filet knitting look EXACTLY THE SAME as the patterns for cross stitch. Any two-color cross stitch pattern is suitable as a pattern and for filet crochet.

With a pattern in the form of a heart in loin technique, you can knit a BORDER for a tablecloth or a towel and give it to a friend. It is possible to crochet such a CURTAIN for the kitchen window in the country using the sirloin technique.

You can decorate with fillet knitting a heart-cushion made of fabric. And from it to make a beautiful gift composition in a frame, with roses and a butterfly.

Valentines knitted in the technique of FIGURED knitting.

And the SHARE of the heart (right lobe and left lobe) can be connected in the technique of the pattern PEACOCK FEATHER. That is, among the crochet patterns there is such a fashionable knitting pattern as a PEACOCK FEATHER (or a drop) ... And if we take two of these elements and put them together, we get a valentine heart.

Knitting starts from the tip of the heart ... diverges in a triangle to the sides. And then the triangle is divided into two lobes. Each ear is knitted separately ... first one, break the thread ... then the other.

Can be used as the basis for the pattern the scheme is only the TOP of the peacock feather pattern.

You can crochet valentines in a technique called ZAVITO K. This is when our knitting turns the corner ... and then comes back ...

If using the CURL technique to connect such 4 hearts (or more), then you can fold a napkin out of them.

You can also hang lace hearts on windows. And even add them with pendants.

Crocheted heart with an ASYMMETRIC pattern.

And here is a beautiful design technique for creating openwork crochet valentines. Where the pattern has an asymmetrical shape. Here the direction of knitting is the most unpredictable.

Your knitting the canvas is bent bagel itself, while you knit row by row. And then you leave this half-donut ... break the thread from the top of the bent canvas. And start knitting from the lower end of the same fabric.. And this time too the course of your new knitting is bent into a steep curl. And then, when the curl is ready, it is sewn with its upper side to the TOP edge of our first half-donut.

And here is another valentine pattern, also an asymmetric crochet heart. Here, too, knitting goes along the course of the curl ... It twists itself, and then flowers or jumper posts are knitted in the middle, which connect the two sides of our bent knitted ribbon.

Like these ones crochet heart ideas I collected in this article. I would be glad if here you found an idea for your crochet valentine.
Good luck knitting.
